Description

At the bottom of each storage container includes generally with 10 designated conveyor pipe, under which individual feeding places indicated at 11 intended for chickens. The conveyor pipe 10 consists of individual conveyor pipe sections, which can be seen more clearly from FIG. 2 and there with 12, 13 and 14 are designated. Each conveyor pipe section has a feed outlet opening 15, which is arranged above a feeding area 11. As shown in FIG. 2 clearly shows the individual feed outlet openings 15 of the individual sections 12, 13 and 14 angularly offset from one another. Inside the conveyor pipe 10 in turn runs a screw 16, which flows out of the storage container 4 or 5 Feed to the individual feeding places 11 and transported by a drive device 17 is driven.

An angle of repose of the forms within the conveying pipe 10 promoting good. It has been found that if, for example, one with a screw conveyor 16 equipped conveyor pipe is half filled with material to be conveyed, for example Forage, the surface of this material to be conveyed is not roughly horizontal, but in Direction of rotation of the screw conveyor, viewed relative to the horizontal, is oriented upwards is what is most likely due to drag drag and frictional drag between the screw conveyor and the feed. Based on this consideration are now the outlet openings in the individual conveyor pipe sections 12, 13 and 14 15 angularly offset so that in each individual section the to be allocated to the feeding area Amount of feed flows out, so the angular displacement is dependent on the Pipe diameter and the height of the location of the outlet opening.

The important adjustment of the individual outlet openings 15 against one another is possible in that the individual conveyor pipe sections 12, 13 and 14 against each other can be twisted, although they are closely connected to each other. The setting the individual angular positions of the outlet openings 15 is determined by the in FIG. 3 schematically illustrated scale facilitates the position required in each case the opening of the tube can be read without difficulty.

In the illustration in FIG. 1 there are only two storage containers indicated. It is evident that a variety of such storage containers are in Adaptation to the respective stable size can be provided.

It is also possible that the delivery lines 10 on both sides connect to the storage tank.

Claims (2)

Claims: 1. Feeding system for the supply of dosed Feed quantities to feeding places, especially in poultry farms, with a central Feed supply line, a storage tank that is closed to the feed supply line and a conveyor pipe equipped with a screw conveyor, which is located in the area of the individual feeding places are provided with feed outlet openings, characterized in that that the storage container (4, 5) is designed as a weight dispenser, the on the entire feed pipe (10) assigned to the storage container to be dispensed weight-dosed and that the feed outlet openings (15) in the conveying pipe (10) Over the length of the conveying pipe (10) viewed in the conveying direction, offset in steps are arranged. 2. Feeding system according to claim 1, wherein the conveyor pipe from consists of individual pipe sections, characterized in that the pipe sections (12, 13, 14) are closely connected to one another, but their angles can be adjusted to one another are. The invention relates to a feeding system for the supply dosed amounts of feed to feeding places, especially in poultry farms a central feed supply line, one connected to the feed supply line Storage tank and a conveyor pipe equipped with a screw conveyor, the is provided with feed outlet openings in the area of the individual feeding places. In feeding systems today there are basically two types of allocation of the feed known. For example, in the German Offenlegungsschrift 1 802 194 suggested a volume dosing of the feed, with constant Volume amounts are supplied to the animals. Changes in the consistency of the feed or Changes in the feed composition make the setting of new volume units necessary. These plants can work with volume dosing can be produced inexpensively, but a correct dosage of the feed not possible per animal or per feeding place. On the other hand, there are systems that work with weight dosing known, as described for example in German Offenlegungsschrift 1 607 152 will. Here it is necessary to have a weight meter in the area of each feeding area is used, so that the effort for the entire system is relatively high will. The invention is based on the object of a feeding system create, in which the feed of the feed to all feeding places at the same time and if possible immediately when the conveyor system starts to work, where a weight dosage of the feed is to be made and on the other hand the costs for such a system are to be kept as low as possible. This object on which the invention is based is achieved by that the storage container is designed as a weight dispenser that applies to the entire the feed pipe assigned to the storage container is weight-dosed to be dispensed and that the feed outlet openings in the conveyor pipe over the length of the conveyor pipe seen in the conveying direction, are arranged offset in steps. By this proposal it is achieved that the weight dosage for a large number of feeding places takes place only once and is based on the calculated required The amount that is necessary for the entire conveying pipe and those connected to it is directed Eating places and thus the animals for which these feeding places are accessible with the to feed the calculated amount of feed. The total feed, which is weighted in this way, becomes then metered by volume through the individual outlet openings in the conveyor pipe sections fed to the respective feeding places, the amount being determined by the position of the outlet opening is determined. In addition, the feed is distributed at the same time and evenly in all places. According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the Connect pipe sections tightly to one another, but can be angularly adjustable to one another so that the outflowing volume can be regulated. In the foregoing is from a storage container, a feed supply pipe and a conveying pipe, whereby there is of course the possibility of several storage tanks, several feed supply lines and several conveying pipes to be provided, depending on the size of the barn and the number of animals to be fed. An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing. The drawing shows in FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one with one according to the invention Plant equipped stall, Fig.2 on a larger scale a conveyor pipe according to the Invention and Fig. 3 is a scale showing the angular adjustment of each Conveyor pipe sections facilitated. In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a feed silo, on which in the area the outlet opening provided in the bottom connects to a central feed supply line 2, which is equipped with a drive motor 3 at its end facing away from the silo and in which a conveyor spiral is preferably provided, as is already the case today has long been part of the state of the art. At this central feed supply line are shown in the Embodiment connected two storage containers 4 and 5, with the interposition a weighing device suspended, for example, on the intermediate roof 6 of a stable 7 are. The central feed supply line closes in the area of each storage container 4 and 5, respectively, to a feed outflow device 8 and 9, respectively, by the weighing device be throttled when reaching the target weight in the storage container, such that a further outflow of feed from the central feed supply line 2 into the Storage tank 4 or 5 is not possible.
